Wasteland Guards aka DC Defence

WASTELAND GUARDS (aka DC Defence):

This mod adds 50 new NPCs to Fallout 3’s exterior wasteland. They are spread around settlements and towns, all in correct factions and have basic dialogue packages. They are all named NPCs with their own personality and none of them respawn. You can give them gear like a companion though to help keep them alive. 30 NPCs spawn at the start of the game. 20 more can be brought at one of three DCD (DC Defence) terminals. Each DCD Merc has a backstory (similar to info on NPCs from Fallout Tactics or Jagged Alliance), they vary in price and effectiveness, many are vendors and a few can repair stuff too. This mod was inspired by (though does not require) Zombie Apocalypse & MMM (along with a number of similar Guard mods focusing on individual settlements). I wanted a few extra tough NPCs around to help the weaker quest NPCs survive so I still get to enjoy the challenge of a very violent monster filled wasteland. The DCD organisation was created partially to avoid slowdown issues so users can select where and how many new NPCs they want added (especially in frequently modded places). It also gives the player something new to save up for as many of them are not cheap (average 1100 caps per Merc). Thanks to “The Regulators” for the terminal Hire/NPC enable inspiration. .

INSTALLATION: Drag WastelandGuards01.esm to the Fallout3 Data folder. Select from the data menu on startup or use FOMM (or similar) in the same manner. Launch game & enjoy. For updates just copy over the old version no need to back old stuff up. It will able be kept online anyway.

REQUIREMENTS: NONE (apart from Fallout 3).

1. 1 UPDATE: Just a small update to fix two minor bugs (the date the DCD was established should have been 2256 rather than 2056) and to make sure the correct Merc data displays on the non-downloadable Girdershade Info Pages (was displaying Canterbury NPCs before).
